Vaping is quite the popular pastime among young people. Many have been led to believe that e-cigarettes (which offer delicious juice flavors like banana mint, bubblegum, cake, coffee, and more) are less harmful than traditional smoking.
Over the years, people found that vaping helps them to relax, combat stress, and mingle with others in social settings. The design of vapes, along with their customizable features and small sizes that are easy to carry on one’s person, also added to the widespread appeal.
Unfortunately, when it comes to e-cigarettes, all that glitters isn’t gold. As it turns out, the flavors and creative designs aren’t really worth the hype.
A study from the United Kingdom’s Manchester Metropolitan University shows that vaping actually harms the lungs of young people to virtually the same degree as smoking.
Vaping can inflict serious, long-lasting damage to your health
Officials with the Manchester Metropolitan University asked 20 vapers of at least two years, 20 smokers of at least two years, and 20 non-smokers/non-vapers to document their lung capacity by exercising on static bikes.
